Giorgi Gogia said: "It is stunning that, as the world tunes in to watch performers sing their hearts out at Eurovision, the Azerbaijani government won't allow even the smallest opening for its own citizens to express themselves,"
Giorgi Gogia said: "The only thing that differentiated the opposition activists who were pinned down and then forcefully taken away from the dozens of other people milling around the area was that they shouted 'Freedom,'" "It was incredible to watch how the simplest attempt to speak freely was met with such violence"
